This Is Me, As I Am

Be prepared for the waiting period. It is not that GOD is bi-polar and doesn’t know what HE has already planned for our lives, but sometimes HE needs us to truly sit and wait patiently.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT.

Seven months into this faith walk. I won’t lie, sometimes I have gotten frustrated and annoyed. I go before the Lord with more complaints and less praise. More troubles and less thanksgiving, but GOD has remained faithful to me. I’ve had the opportunity to realize that sitting and waiting isn’t the same as Netflix and chill. This was not an opportunity to sit on my behind and do nothing.

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26 NKJV

So, I’ve stayed in the word, I’ve prayed as effective and fervently as I know how. I’ve inquired to GOD what my next steps should be, and then I shut my mouth, opened my spiritual ears and waited for his response and man, did HE have much to say.

After being rebuked (yes, GOD has the right to chastise HIS children just as any loving parent corrects theirs) He began to download what is next. I began to question as to how this was going to happen when I again have no steady income.

“Then the Lord answered me and said: 2 “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.” Habakkuk 2:2-3 NKJV

I wrote, but this time I did not keep the vision to myself. I confessed it out of my mouth to those who have to experience, and things are now happening. The finances needed are being sown for the door that has been opened. Information is being poured into me from those who have already walked that path, and connections are being made.

In the end, GOD did not forget about HIS promise or HIS word that says:

5 “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

It’s not over until GOD says it’s over, and according to my spiritual ears, HE is still talking.
